(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5)
ctype_alnum — Check for alphanumeric character(s)
$text
)
Checks if all of the characters in the provided string,
text, are alphanumeric.
text
The tested string.
Returns TRUE if every character in text is either
a letter or a digit, FALSE otherwise.
Example #1 A ctype_alnum() example (using the default locale)
<?php
$strings = array('AbCd1zyZ9', 'foo!#$bar');
foreach ($strings as $testcase) {
if (ctype_alnum($testcase)) {
echo "The string $testcase consists of all letters or digits.\n";
} else {
echo "The string $testcase does not consist of all letters or digits.\n";
}
}
?>
以上例程会输出：
The string AbCd1zyZ9 consists of all letters or digits. The string foo!#$bar does not consist of all letters or digits.
Note:
如果给出一个 -128 到 255 之间(含)的整数, 将会被解释为该值对应的ASCII字符 (负值将加上 256 以支持扩展ASCII字符). 其它整数将会被解释为该值对应的十进制字符串.

Quicktip: If ctype is not enabled by default on your server, replace ctype_alnum($var) with preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$/', $var).

Just for the record, Gentoo doesn't include this function by default. You'll have to recompile PHP with the "ctype" USE flag.

ctype_alnum() is a godsend for quick and easy username/data filtering when used in conjunction with str_replace().
Let's say your usernames have dash(-) and underscore(_) allowable and alphanumeric digits as well.
Instead of a regex you can trade a bit of performance for simplicity:
<?php
$sUser = 'my_username01';
$aValid = array('-', '_');
if(!ctype_alnum(str_replace($aValid, '', $sUser))) {
echo 'Your username is not properly formatted.';
}
?>
